Summary of the contracting process

The University of Kent has successfully completed the procurement process for the resurfacing and road safety improvements on Parkwood Road at their Canterbury campus. The contract, titled "Parkwood Road Resurfacing & Road Safety Improvements," was awarded to TRIAGG CONSTRUCTION LIMITED. The procurement was conducted using an open competition method under the "Below threshold" approach, primarily classified under the 'works' category, focusing specifically on roadworks. With a contract value of £292,959, the work was scheduled between 3rd July 2025 and 1st August 2025. The project's legal basis was aligned with UKPGA 2023/54, ensuring all regulatory requirements were met. This project location falls within the UKJ44 region (Canterbury, South East England).

The opportunity for the "Parkwood Road Resurfacing & Road Safety Improvements" project presented significant potential for businesses, particularly those specialising in roadworks and infrastructure services. The requirement for a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan and allowance for night works highlight the complexity and demand for contractors with robust project management capabilities. SME construction businesses with expertise in managing intricate urban infrastructural upgrades would find this project well suited to their capacities. The competitive tender process, which garnered bids exclusively from SMEs, reaffirms that smaller firms can effectively compete and succeed in public sector contracts, making such opportunities an attractive prospect for business growth in road maintenance and safety improvement sectors.
